Of bids, bidders, builders and games 09:10am on 19 Jun 2009 "The effect of star personalities having an impact on bids has been a factor ever since 2005 when Prime Minister Tony Blair won London the 2012 Games".

Superb Mihir...........and I thought it was Beckham.
Stanford inquests begin 10:16am on 21 Feb 2009 This is what he wrote after the horrific Mumbai attacks:
"Nobody can deny the horrors that have unfolded in Mumbai. It is a city I shall always call Bombay and the one where I grew up. For me to witness the events of the last few days on television in places I have known so well has been heartbreaking.
I could not see the pictures of the Taj Mahal Palace hotel without thinking of the Sea Lounge, where I spent so much of my teenage years gazing out to the Arabian Sea while consuming pineapple cake and sweet lime and soda - a great drink in a hot country".
Millions of people from Mumbai could empathise with those comments in the aftermath of that atrocity,couldn't they Mihir?
Australia outdone by a superior side 11:12am on 12 Nov 2008 The opening paragraph is all wrong.India did not do the unthinkable in beating Australia.They were actually favourites with the bookmakers here in London.

Wasn't any great surprise as Australia were always going to struggle to cope with the loss of 3 all time great players.

Agreed that the test matches against England should be 4 tests.Fed up with one day,20/20 getting more coverage during a tour.
